Description

Aglago et al reported an equation for estimated the fat-free mass (FFM) of a North African adult. The authors are from Ibn Tofail University and Children's Hospital in Rabat, Morocco.


Patient selection: age from 18 to 64 years

 

Parameters:

(1) height in centimeters

(2) resistance in Ohms from bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)

(3) sex (male 1, female 0)

(4) weight in kilograms

(5) age in years

 

FFM in kilograms =

= (0.366 * ((height)^2) / (resistance)) + (6.04 * (points for sex)) + (0.306 * (weight)) - (0.063 * (age)) + 7.47
